Metalcore = Hardcore metal?
BillyxRansom:
--- Quote from: ALoveSupreme ---I think metalcore and hardcore metal would be two different things... never did think about it before.
Great call on Fall River. I found out about them through a xsisterhoodx.com article their vocalist wrote about women in [aggressive music]. It was pretty well done, so I checked em out.
--- End quote ---
their vocalist is a girl, so that maybe explains that last part a little bit.

Agree that Norma Jean is just a blatent Botch rip-off...but before that horrendous "O God The Aftermath" album, they were only a slight rip-off of Coalesce, and they did the chaos thing pretty well...gotta give them credit for that.
Splunkle:
When you guys say hardcore, I assume you are refering to some kinda offshoot of rock? Because when I hear it, I think of the EDM hardcore... which is like happy hardcore, but without the happy. Though there is also hardcore techno, which isnt hardcore... because its techno. Or so I'm told. The difference means little to me.
I'm just saying that hardcore can mean many things. And by rock, I mean the big general genre that includes everything from the beatles to Nirvana. I get all confused by the sub-genres of rock.
Hugs:
When most people say hardcore, they think of bands like Minor Threat, Bane, Cro-Mags, Bad Brains, Cross Examination. I have never heard of happy hardcore.
Metalcore is obviously a merger of hardcore and metal that is different from crossover thrash. Metalcore can basically consist of two different things. There are bands like Integrity and Converge who choose to use metal riffs with hardcore rhythms and vocals, and there are bands like It Dies Today and other Trustkill/newer Victory bands that do it as a way to have an instant fanbase without having to be different or sincere in any way.
Edit: I didn't realise this thread was older and wasn't sure if the discussion was still going on. Apologize for bumping a bad thread.
!!!CPAOI!!!:
I just want to make one more comment before we let this die. I think maybe I heard it referring to brands of sludge metal with obvious hardcore influences like Mastodon.
